We sequenced and assembled mitochondrial genomes of three tenthredinid sawflies (Euura poecilonota, E. striata, and Dolerus timidus) using Oxford Nanopore Technologies' MinION. The Canu assembler produced circular assemblies (23,000-40,000 bp). Still, errors were found in the highly repetitive non-coding control region because of the fragmented DNA...

For many aquatic and semiaquatic mammal, amphibian and fish species, environmental DNA (eDNA) methods are employed to detect species distribution and to monitor their presence, but eDNA is much less employed for avian species. Here, we eveloped primers for the detection of true geese and swan species using eDNA and optimised a PCR protocol for eDNA...

Moor frogs (Rana arvalis) are protected by the European Union's Habitats Directive, often making them a target for environmental impact assessments. However, moor frog detection with the traditional method using their mating calls is difficult, time-consuming, and limited to the short mating season. Environmental DNA (eDNA)-based methods could be b...
